Go to www.ahrq.gov/clinic/

Then go to Clinical Information and click, Preventive Services
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, aka USPSTF
www.ahrq.gov/clinic/prevenix.htm
click contact us - www.ahrq.gov/info/customer.htm
go to Frequently Asked Questions -
http://info.ahrq.gov/cgi-bin/ahrq.cf...er/std_alp.php

See questions 1-11 and read answers

This is all under the government branch of the Federal Agencies and Commissions - www.hhs.gov - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

The Sec. of this department Kathleen Sebelius made an announcement that this is an independent panel of doctors, scientist and researchers and not under any gov't dept.,
I found it all under her department -

This is not a political issue, but there is some problems with a panel that decides new guidelines and is selected under a government department.
